Rest In Peace Hollywood

Hollywood, 1998 - 2012. I loved you dearly and you will be missed. You were a special cat, in many ways, brought such joy and warmth in my life. My heart is heavy with your loss, but I know you are no longer in pain. Rest in Peace Hollywood.

Lend Me A Kitten

I will lend to you for a whilea kitten, God said.For you to love while he lives,and mourn after he’s dead.

Maybe for twelve or fourteen years,or maybe just two or three.But will you, ‘till I call him back,take care of him for me?

He’ll bring his charms to gladden youand should his stay be brief,you’ll always have his memoriesas solace for your grief.

I cannot promise he will stay,since all from earth return.But there are lessons you can giveI want this kitten to learn.

I’ve looked the whole world overin search of teachers true,And from the folk that crowds life’s landI have chosen you.

Now will you give him all your love,nor think the labor vain?Nor hate me when I come to takemy kitten home again?

And my heart replied,“My Lord, Thy Will Be Done.”For all the joys this kitten brings,the risk of grief I’ll run.

We’ll shelter him with tenderness,we’ll love him while we may.And for the happiness that we’ve known,forever grateful stay.

But should you call him backmuch sooner than we planned,We’ll brave the bitter grief that comes,and try to understand.

If by our love we’ve managedyour wishes to achieve,in memory of his sweet sweet love,please help us while we grieve.

And when our cherished kittendeparts this world of strife,Please send yet another needing soulfor us to love all his life.

Hollywood was a fabulous cat! He was the sweetest and loving kitty I've ever met. I know how hard it is to lose a furry family member. It never gets easy. He loved you and all of us and we will keep Hollywood in our heart forever! God bless his little soul.

I dont know how I got to Hollywood's Memorial poem and I'm almost 1 year late to post but I still wanted to tell you i'm sorry for your loss.... My cat means the world to me. When everyone has turned there back on me family and so called friends my cat has been there showing unconditional love to me. Dear God, I dont know what I would do with out him.....
